2013 is almost over - where has the year gone?! The year may have flown by but we certainly have lots to show for it.

The MOLA team has completed 100s of projects, processed over 20,000 small finds and a staggering 6 million plus fragments of pottery, animal bone, building material and human remains. From one site alone we recovered an astonishing 55,000 sherds of Roman pottery!

But what do these discoveries tell us about people lives? In no particular order, here are our 2013 discovery highlights and a little bit of information about what they reveal.
